On Friday we went to Bangkok Floating Market. It took about 3 and a half hours to get there. When we arrived it was just starting to close for the day. We still had time to take a boat trip around the market and buy a few souvenirs. The water was full of Koi Carp and the kids whipped them up into a feeding frenzy. On the way back to Pattaya we went via the Royal Palace in Bangkok. Unfortunately it was also starting to close when we arrived. A bad day for timing. To have seen everything as we should have it would have meant getting up at 5:00 am. Not something we were prepared to do on holiday.

You could buy all sorts of fruit and vegetables from boats on the canal. There were boats selling cooked food too. Sort of like floating take-aways. We stuck to fruit and coconut juice. |

This is our driver, Khun Rung and his son P. That was his name, "P". We had a Opel Zafira to take us around, built in Thailand too. P got travel sick a couple of times on the journey to and from Bangkok. Khun Rung had a bag for him to puke into, he missed both times! A nice kid though, always laughing. |
